Need help identifiying these Foreign (Mostly Prussian) Medals

Thanks in advance for your help. I've numbered them to help with identification. Also an approximate value amount would help as well. Thanks!

    Cool medals, but I'm not certain just what you're looking for; You already know they're Prussian, although the post-1871s could also be considered from the Empire, since the Prussian Kings were also Kaisers. Most are pretty-much self-explanatory...Kaisers Wilhelm I & II, Friedrich III, Crown Prince Wilhelm. 1888 was the "3 Kaiser Year," so you've got commemorations of the Death of Wilhelm I, Coronation and Death of Friedrich III, Coronation of Wilhelm II, birth of the Crown Prince, Victory in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1, Berlin palace. "Lerne Leiden ohne zu Klagen" = "Learn to suffer without complaint" - attributed to Friedrich III while suffering from fatal throat cancer. I've never seen the swing-open one before image Dead Kaisers on the outside.."Where is the third Kaiser?" Where is the Crown Prince?" ...where?...on the inside image

    I have most of these...or at least similar ones...they're neat but I paid no more than a few bucks each. Hope this helps. -Preussen
